The HP Touchsmart IQ500 really is a beast of a machine. Taking aim right at the
iMac, the all–in–one monster not only packs some killer tech, it also has a really smart touchscreen for navigating around apps and files.
You can open up and edit photos, check out music and watch video with the touch of your hand. It’s all based on Windows Vista, which may leave you shuddering, but trust us, it builds on the shonky Windows
OS and takes it into the realms of decency.
It’s certainly hefty too, with
HD graphics, a TV receiver and a 22in screen for checking out movies and the like. Want to see it in action? Take a look at our
video review and see what you think.
